Moon Light Canoe Trip

I recently took a moon light canoe trip with Boston Center for Adult Education. I snapped these
shots at the beginning of the trip. It was fun. From 7 to 10pm. The canoe's have little lights on the ends of them. The class
mentioned some of the history of canoeing on the Charles. It used to be a big thing to do in the 1930s. When autos scarce, people
would canoe as a recreational activity.

The boat house is in Newton. Near
the intersection of the Mass. Turnpike
and 95/128.

Most of the group is new
to canoeing, so the steering
concept takes some work.

Thats my buddy Jorgma.
I had some canoeing experience
in my youth, so I can do the
J stroke fairly well. If only Jorgma
would quit trying to steer!

very peaceful and beatiful. But
after an hour or so, I had gotten
the idea.

The other are slow. Jorgma and I
were team quick!

They gave us snacks when we
were about 2/3 through. Food
tastes so much better when
you are hungry and trying
something new.
